Hello,Just installed the latest beta release of Ubuntu 8.10 (Linux bla 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 10 03:55:24 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux) and tried to compilematroxdriver_mtx-x86_32-1.4.6.2-installer.run (32bit installer, v1.4.6.2) from tuxx-home.at,and there seems to be a problem which i unfortunately can't figure out. See output file attached.Perhaps someone understands what's going on or even had the same problem?I also tried the linux P650/P750 driver which is available directly from matrox, but with the same output.

-pg Generate extra code to write profile information suitable for the analysis program gprof. You must use this option when compiling the source files you want data about, and you must also use it when linking.

What's the output of `echo $CFLAGS` on your system?It might well be, that there's an alias on your system for gcc, to make sure to check the outputs of `export`, `set` and `alias` on your current shelland watch out for gcc flags.

OK, I have absolutely no idea what's the problem here.So, please try to modify the Makefile of the driver manually (it's located in kernel/src/Makefile) and simply remove the -fomit-frame-pointer gcc flag and try again then (it's around line 169 in that file).

installs the driver...The automatic setup of xorg.conf does not seem to work with the latest Xorg 7.4, so now i'm trying to change xorg.conf on my own, but no success so far, because Xorg starts in some low resolution mode.I'll check (and post) the X startup log file tomorrow./haldor

Compilation worked for me as well now. Installing threw a few notices, but the driver seemed to be okay.Because the Xorg server still incorrectly recognized my graphics card as a "mga" card, I added the line

Oh, that doesn't look good. If you guys are using Xorg 7.4, you're probably out of luck.I already told Matrox about the Xorg 7.4 incompatibilities and they said it will be fixed in 1.4.7 (whenever that will be available).
